Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Monitor process to ensure outcomes are consistent with job specifications
  • 1.1 Job specifications are checked for requirements including quantity, quality, colour and pattern.
  • 1.2 Performance parameters are identified to the extent required to be able to report known or suspected problems.
  • 1.3 Production processes are monitored to ensure consistency with specified outcomes.
  • 1.4 Job records and other documentation are maintained.
  • 1.5 Monitoring is conducted according to OHS practices.
2 Identify problems with operation of textile production process
  • 2.1 Problems are identified and categorised as machine and process faults.
  • 2.2 Operating manuals and documentation are referred to.
3 Determine problem cause and solution
  • 3.1 Possible causes of problem are determined.
  • 3.2 Further information is gathered to confirm and eliminate possible causes.
  • 3.3 Appropriate personnel are consulted to confirm causes.
  • 3.4 Immediate solution is determined and trialled or implemented.
  • 3.5 Permanent solution is determined in consultation with appropriate personnel.
4 Conduct regular checks of performance efficiency
  • 4.1 Regular checks of process operation are undertaken and results assessed against job specifications.
  • 4.2 Results of checks are recorded.
  • 4.3 Opportunities for process improvements are identified and communicated.
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Legislative/regulatory requirements
All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Job specifications may include
customer orders
pattern diagrams
colour charts
simple formulae
written and verbal instructions
drawings
Performance parameters may include
processing time
acceptable error rate
wastage
noise
vibration
Production processes may include
carding
spinning
sizing
winding
weaving
tufting
knitting
dyeing
finishing
non-woven textile production process
any special production systems of manufacturing practice, including:
just in time movement between departments and suppliers or customers
special housekeeping practices, including 5S
OHS practices
OHS practices include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may relate to:
manual handling techniques
standard operating procedures
personal protective equipment
safe materials handling
taking of rest breaks
ergonomic arrangement of workplaces
following marked walkways
safe storage of equipment
housekeeping
reporting accidents and incidents
environmental practices
Appropriate personnel may include
internal technical specialists
supervisors
equipment manufacturer service personnel
Immediate solution means
A solution to the problem that will control immediate undesirable impacts, but which may not eliminate the root cause of the problem.
Permanent solution means
A solution to the problem that will eliminate the root cause of the problem.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
identify the major processes to be monitored at work location, eg creeling, weaving, finishing
identify manufacturing system and quality requirements to be monitored
identify major faults and out of specification performance
address faults or problems
conduct regular performance checks

Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks according to instructions
working systematically with attention to detail
identifying improvements and avoiding damage
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

Resource implications
Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment
This unit may be assessed in combination with other relevant units.
